DORCAS FOOD PANTRY:  Just a reminder that next Sunday, August. 13, is our regular toilet paper collection Sunday for Dorcas Food Pantry.  And a thank you for those who have filled the bin the last 2 Sundays.  It’s really appreciated.

The Women’s Study Group will meet Tuesday, August 8 from 12:00 noon -1:30 p.m. in the Bride’s Room to discuss The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story by Diane Ackerman.  This is a novelization of a true story in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands.  This will be an interesting book to read and discuss, so we hope you will join us.  If you have any questions, contact Leah Dail at LeahDail@gmail.com.

Newcomer Ministry: We need several people who live in Holly Springs, Apex, and Fuquay-Varina to assist with delivering bread.  We are having more visitors from those areas and it would be helpful if those of you who live south of Cary could assist us.  It’s easy!  Please contact Anne Laney at annewlaney@gmail.com, or just check in the drawer of the desk in the narthex after the service and see if there are visitor pew cards with addresses that are convenient for you.  The instructions are there.
